Bashiok on Color Blindness and Ninjas

Posted 19th Nov 2009 11:32 PM by Flux

In an almost unimagined event, someone on the Battle.net forums asked a genuinely new and interesting question. Even better, Bashiok replied to it.

Blizzard Quote:

I myself am not color blind, but I recently heard that this guy that is visually impaired is sueing Sony for not making games cater to people who are visually impaired. I found out that there are actually some games out there that have an option for “color blind mode” which changes the color pallette and such. I know D3 will change the color of the item types to help color blindness, but will there be a color blind mode option?

Bashiok: There are people on the development team that are colorblind so it’s something we’re constantly aware of. Aside from that though as a company we’re always interested in making our games as accommodating as possible. World of Warcraft for instance added a color blind mode which helps clarify item quality levels through text and not just color, whether Diablo III will need that option or not - it may.

 

Elsewhere, it was more of the same, with someone agitating for Ninja and Samurai class characters in the Diablo world. As though medieval Japan just floated in from the east?  Bashiok’s reply was wordless; he simply pointed to the image you see below:
